Directions

Preheat oven to 450˚F.

Cut sweet potatoes into uniform slices, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Place slices on nonstick baking sheet. Sprinkle with smoked paprika.

Bake for 20 minutes, flip over and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until done. These are the “chip” part of your nachos.

As an alternative, each item can be placed in separate bowls to create a nacho bar.
